"General Meng!" During the march, a lieutenant approached Meng Fu's side, and his eager and seductive words rang out again: "Why don't we try to attack Los Angeles again, in case we succeed!"

I have to say that although the captain's words were light, they set off a monstrous wave in Meng Fu's heart.

yes, what if it succeeds?

As long as Luocheng can be regained, the entire Zhou Wangji can be firmly in the hands of the Qin army, and he does not have to garrison Yiyang City of Nalaoshizi.

No matter how dilapidated Los Angeles is, it is far stronger and more reliable than that Yiyang City!

If Meng Fu had just set off from Hangu Pass, he might have followed the guidance of his heart at this time, and attacked Los Angeles with tens of thousands of troops behind him.

However, after months of bloody battles, especially after seeing the gap between himself and the top generals, Meng Fu extinguished this idea at the first time.

Indeed, there may be a chance that the counterattack on Los Angeles will succeed, but there is a chance that it will fail.

And what about after the failure?

Not only will their tens of thousands of troops be besieged by the Zhao army, but even the follow-up army will be entangled with the Zhao army. What should the Zhao army of Yicheng do when they attack?

"He who does not seek a lifetime is not enough to seek a moment; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain!"

This is an experience that has been exchanged for a bloody lesson, and it is not dared or forgotten.

"Don't say much, follow the order, take Yiyang, and don't make mistakes." After snorting coldly, Meng Fu decisively gave his decision.

It should be said that Meng Fu's decision is still very decisive.

Although Zhao did not want to start a big battle with the Qin army now, in the land of Zhou Wangji. But the reason for this is by no means because the Zhao army could not defeat the Qin army.

On the contrary, in this local battlefield, in a short period of time, the combat power of the Zhao army was much higher than that of the Qin army.

In terms of troops, even in Yicheng, which has experienced bloody battles, the Zhao army still has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus 130,000 horses and horses of Li Musuo's troops who attacked Los Angeles, the total strength has reached 230,000; After the Qin army stormed Yicheng, the strength of the army had dropped to 200,000.

Obviously, the Zhao army has a certain advantage in terms of troops.

From the point of view of combat effectiveness, the Zhao army has more cavalry and the Qin army has more foot soldiers, but it is the Zhao army stationed in the city, in order to give full play to the advantages of the cavalry as much as possible, the Zhao army can set up a formation and compete with the Qin army on the plain.

And in such a contest, the cavalry of the Zhao army, which has the advantage of speed and strength, will obviously have more advantages.

From the perspective of the situation of the enemy and us, the Zhao army occupies Luocheng and Yicheng, which can be said to be almost semi-surrounded by the Qin army, and under the attack of the north and south, it occupies an absolute geographical advantage.

Therefore, it can be said that if it really fights, the probability of Zhao Jun winning is at least seventy percent.

Naturally, the Zhao army would not give up the decisive battle with the Qin army because it could not be defeated.

It's just that in the current situation, if it is a big battle with the Qin army on the ground in Zhou Wangji, even if it wins, the Zhao army will be a miserable victory, and it is more likely to cause a long-term confrontation, which is undoubtedly giving other countries a chance.

Although other countries may not be able to seize such an opportunity, Zhao Kuo, who wants to unify the six countries, obviously does not want to make it more difficult for his great cause of reunification.

Of course, what is more critical is that this battle, no matter what the result is, will not cost the life of the Qin State.

paid a huge price, and even gave other countries the opportunity to rise, but still could not give Qin a fatal blow, and the effort was not proportional to the report. Naturally, Zhao Kuo didn't want to fight.

Suppressing the development of the Qin State, first the north and then the south, first the easy and then the difficult, this is the answer given by Zhao Kuo to solve the problem of unification.

From this point of view, whether it is Wang Di's retreat or Meng Wei's denial, it actually avoids the possibility of a major defeat for the Qin army.

Soon, under the leadership of Meng Fu, 50,000 cavalry immediately quietly left in the north of Los Angeles.

Although in this dark night, coupled with the distance, Meng Fu and Li Mu couldn't see each other's traces at all, but in the dark, the two

The people did look at each other from afar.

The new generation of main generals of Qin and Zhao completed their first confrontation under such circumstances.

There was no fighting, no hand-to-hand combat, and the two didn't even see each other. But driven by the gears of fate, the two were forced to keep sparking in the following days.

"Report!" An urgent report from the scout interrupted Li Mu's gaze above the city.

"Speak." Li Mu ordered dryly.

"The tens of thousands of cavalry of the Qin army have crossed ten miles north of the city and headed straight to the southwest." The scout replied immediately.

Hearing this, Li Mu's hanging heart finally let go of a small half. It seems that the Qin army is still a little self-aware, and this is not ready to directly counterattack Los Angeles.

Of course, tens of thousands of cavalry were far from the whole Qin army. Therefore, Li Mu did not take it lightly because of this, and did not stop preparing for war with the army.

"Continue to closely monitor the movements of the Qin army, especially the follow-up direction of the army, and be sure to report it every moment." Li Mu then ordered again.

"Yes." The scout immediately agreed.

Finally, under the strict surveillance of the Zhao army scouts, the Qin cavalry army led by Meng Fu went all the way to the west, and after a long journey of several hours, finally arrived at the destination of this trip - Yiyang City.

Looking up, this city is really small!

Not to mention compared with Luocheng, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, or Xianyang of the Qin State, even compared with Liyang, the former capital of the Qin State, it is far from it.

The low walls were less than two feet high, and there were not even ladders used in wartime, so there were several gaps in the walls.

The small town, whose circumference was less than two miles, galloped wildly, and it did not even take a quarter of an hour. Besieged on all sides, it didn't even take an army of 100,000. His army of 50,000 opened the way, and even the entire town was occupied.

Not to mention that in such a small city, almost all the people have fled, and supplies, food and grass are bound to be in short supply.

Looking at Yiyang City in front of him, Meng Fu finally knew what kind of predicament he was about to face.

Even so, Meng Fu did not hesitate to order the whole army to enter.

"Order the whole army, except for the 10,000 former troops stationed outside the city to prevent accidents, the rest immediately begin to strengthen and repair the city walls." Realizing that the situation was not good, Meng Fu immediately ordered.

Faced with the Zhao army that could arrive at any time, he and his Qin army had to make all preparations as soon as possible, even if it was only a small matter of reinforcing the city walls.

Of course, it is impossible to cast the walls of Yiyang City as grand as Xianyang in a few hours, but at least, all those gaps can be plugged.

The soldiers of the Qin army were also apparently aware that they would most likely be stationed in this city, and in the face of the tattered city, they knew all the more how valuable a strong wall would be to the defenders.

Immediately without saying a word, he obeyed the order of the captain, put down the blade in his hand, took off the armor on his body, and began to renovate the city wall of Yiyang City.

After several hours of hard work, this dilapidated small city became somewhat vibrant under the renovation of the Qin army. It's just that the inherent attributes of this small city, such as the size problem, are not something that the Qin army can improve in a short period of time.

Wang Yi, who rushed to Yiyang City, looked at this small city, and sighed in his heart. Obviously, the city was smaller and more fragile than he had imagined.

It's just that now, he and Qin Jun have no choice.

Immediately, Wang Yu summoned the quartermaster in front of Meng Fu and said, "Leave half of the grain for Meng Fu, as well as arrows and oil, and give as much as you can."

Providing Meng Fu with sufficient food and ordnance was the only thing Wang Ji could do.

After resting for less than half an hour, Wang Yi immediately left Yiyang in a hurry with the rest of the Qin army, followed Luoshui to the west, and went straight to the Hedong region.

In the small city, only Meng Fu with 40,000 foot soldiers remained, still reinforcing the city tower all the time.

And Li Mu, who finally got the news that all the members of the Qin army were going west, finally let go of his heart and looked at it gradually

The canopy was lit up, and Li Mu decisively gave the order for the army to take turns to rest.

Although the Qin army did not go west directly to aid Hangu as expected, but laid down a nail in the inconspicuous corner of the southwest corner of Zhou Wangji.

Of course, Li Mu can also understand the unwillingness of the Qin army, and also understand the good intentions of the Qin army's generals: the city left behind can be used as the result of this eastward operation, and it can also be used as a bridgehead for the Qin army's eastward exit in the coming year.

It's just that with only 50,000 troops, Li Mu really doesn't look at it.

Not to mention that the Zhao army in the Zhou Wangji region now has a full 230,000 army, just the 130,000 army in Li Mu's hands is enough to surround the 50,000 Qin army in that small city.

It didn't take ten months for Li Mu to be sure to break through that small city.

After all, that small city didn't have very thick walls.

However, Li Mu still chose not to move. The reason is very simple, even if Yiyang is given to the Qin army, it can't make any waves, and ensuring the withdrawal of the main force of the Qin army is the top priority now.

If it was because of the covetousness of this mere 50,000 Qin troops, and caused a counterattack by the Qin State, the Zhao State would really not be able to make it!

Naturally, at the same time, Li Mu also reported the news of the westward departure of the Qin army and the occupation of Yiyang to Zhao Kuo in Handan, as well as General Lian Po in Yicheng.

The report to Zhao Kuo naturally goes without saying, whether to fight Yiyang, how to fight Yiyang, and the aftermath of the land of Zhou Wangji all need Zhao Kuo's instructions.

As for the report to Lian Po in Yicheng, on the one hand, it was a sign of respect for Comrade Lian Po, the commander-in-chief of the campaign, and on the other hand, it was necessary for Lian Po to send troops to take over Zhou Wangji's territory according to the established plan.

After months of fierce fighting, the army in the city is obviously more qualified than its own troops to receive these cities and feel this honor.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, as the closest to the Qin army, Li Musuo's department still needs to continue to monitor the Qin army.

At the same time, several flying pigeons also flew up from Los Angeles and flew straight in the direction of Hangu Pass.

Before the Qin army withdrew to Hexi County, Li Musuo's department, which attacked Hangu, had already disappeared into the mountains and forests outside Hangu Pass. Since the goal has been achieved, it is natural to withdraw.

In this way, the entire battle of Luocheng-Yicheng-Hangu finally came to an end with the return of the Qin army and the retreat of the Zhao army.

However, the restoration of order after the war has become another headache.

Especially when Qin Jun also inserted a kick in Yiyang, it was even more fatal.
